Brace yourselves… here come the Satanists, ready to (prophetically) desecrate Christianity!
Do I kill the humor by saying, “Pay attention to the message to the church”? I guess so… never mind, then.
“Hello, Christian Internet.” I give you… Det Satan Club!

“What does it mean??” So this guy, “Yosemite Bear,” posted a video recording his, shall we say, observations of a meteorological phenomenon. It got tweeted by a late-night TV talk show host, and the rest (over 8 million views later) is history. People just can’t quite believe anyone could be so excited for three-and-a-half minutes without being high:
Overnight, another Internet sensation was born. Soon, people began remixing the video into numerous parodies. Here’s one that uses auto-tuning:
Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic for a reason: those tight tight tight vocals and beautiful guitar, and of course the sweeping prog-like epic feel with three sections. It’s hard not bang my head at the appropriate Wayne’s World moment. Well, this song has been parodied by many. But never like this:
(Hat tip to shallowfrozenwater.) If you really want to, you can buy a copy of the video for your iPod at the iTunes Store.
…And in the spirit of the season, a blast from six years past: Christmas Rhapsody made by my good friend David!
Heh. Ever feel the same way?

I’m posting this a little early so that email subscribers will have it in their inboxes in time for Mother’s Day.
Now pay attention: This is Mr. T, the baddest of the bad. Click play, and he will rap his message to “Treat Your Mother Right”. I pity the fool who says anything bad about his mother!
You are now inspired to share this goodness with the mothers in your life. Happy Mother’s Day!
Ha ha! Normal people won’t get the references, but for anyone who’s led worship, this is funny!
Wait, maybe it’s not funny. (h/t: jonnybaker)
You’ve seen “25 Random Things” done by Jesus, so you know he’s on Facebook, right? Glancing at his profile, it looks like there were updates on his wall during Holy Week (click to view):
Note: Unlike a regular Facebook wall, the most recent stuff is at the bottom, so read from the top down.

If you’re on Facebook, at least one of your friends has done the latest craze “25 Things About Me”, listing twenty-five random things. It’s a fun way to learn things about someone that you wouldn’t normally discover. It’s gone so viral that TIME Magazine and Newsweek’s blog have written about it.
And now there’s even one by Jesus of Nazareth!
Update: In fact, you can now see Jesus’s Facebook page.
I fumbled with my words when inviting people to the Church Basement Roadshow, because even as the local organizer, I had little idea of what to expect. But having seen it last night — how do I describe it? I think I have to fall back on Doctor Dolittle: “You’ve never seen anything like it in your life!”
Honestly, that video matches the feel of the show. It’s old-timey. It’s zany. It’s also deeply meaningful. The show clips along and does not stay in any one place for very long.
Since it is hard to describe what the show is like, parents will ask, should I bring the kids? If they are teenagers, definitely. Even pre-teens will enjoy it, as long as you don’t mind them hearing Mark toning down two quotes to (literally) “effed” and “effing”, and references to drug use in a quite negative light.
It’s fun for whole family — bring grandma, too! I don’t know how to say it without sounding like I am exaggerating. Find a show near you and go. How can anything be so much fun, and so meaningful, at the same time? I’ve never seen anything like it in my life!
